CBS announces partial football television schedule

CBS announced five football matchups it will broadcast this fall. All five include Southeastern Conference teams including four that are league games.

Mississippi State and Ole Miss weren't included in the matchups.

The first conference game that will be aired features Georgia at Vanderbilt on Sept. 12 at 2:30 p.m. While Ole Miss plays Fresno State, MSU hosts LSU, which should draw national attention. It will likely be a prime candidate for a primtime spot on ESPN.

CBS also annouced that it will broadcast Louisville and Auburn in the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff on Sept. 5. The games in the first two weeks of the season are part of a sublicense agreement with ESPN.

LSU will appear on CBS in week three during the day as it hosts Auburn on Sept. 19 at 2:30 p.m. Ole Miss travels to Alabama, which will draw the national eye. Like MSU and LSU, the Rebels and Crimson Tide could play in the primeime slot on ESPN. Mississippi State hosts Northwestern State that week.

The final two games CBS announced were Florida at Georgia on Oct. 31 and Missouri at Arkansas on Black Friday.

It leaves nine weekends where CBS will announce the SEC Game of the Week 6 to 12 days prior. The network announced two doubleheaders on Nov. 7 and 14.

MSU doesn't play on Nov. 7, but hosts Alabama on Nov. 14. Ole Miss hosts Arkansas on Nov. 7 and doesn't play on Nov. 14. The Nov. 7 doubleheader kicksoff at 2:30 p.m. followed by a 7 p.m. game. On Nov. 14 the first game will be played at 11 a.m. followed by another at 2:30 p.m.
